I think it is vitally important to keep the topic of women’s postpartum health at the forefront of conversation and I commend companies like Vagisil® for inviting women to engage in talking about their experiences and feelings in safe and open forums like the one I attended.

Despite people giving you unsolicited advice during and after your pregnancy, there’s so many important topics that are left out. For example- no one told me that I would need my maternity jeans for months after giving birth because my hips widened so much, and it would take time for them to go back.

I had the pleasure of attending a panel called “Wine & Gyn” in NYC. Tbh, an event like this would have never made me excited before having Hudson, but now after having gone through childbirth, I absolutely love to hear other women candidly speak about their own experiences in a judgement-free room. It was a breath of fresh air (filled with rose and prosciutto, which isn’t too shabby). Here’s my favorite takeaways!
